Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 145 The Deterrent Power of Bluff

It is in the common interest of all domestic machine tool companies to suppress Siemens and Fanuc so that they will not be so arrogant in the future.

In the past, no one dared to think that they would have the opportunity to participate in the suppression of giants.

Now that Nanshan has come forward to stir up trouble, they are naturally willing to follow suit.

Anyway, even if it fails, they have nothing to lose.

If it succeeds, it will be much more comfortable to deal with them in the future.

“The Chinese government formulates anti-monopoly laws and strengthens market competition supervision”

"Anti-monopoly law is expected to be passed in China to strengthen corporate competition constraints."

"The EU approves antitrust investigations into Yazaki and other auto parts companies"

“The Enlightenment of American Antitrust Law to Technology Giants: Restricting Oligopoly and Maintaining Market Fairness”

“Antitrust laws promote market competition and promote innovation and development on a global scale.”

……

In just a few days, relevant reports were spread all over the Internet.

Some local newspapers have also begun to report relevant news.

As for various forums, the stories behind the anti-monopoly law are spreading a lot.

There are some popular science out there about America’s antitrust history over the past hundreds of years.

There is also a background explaining China’s preparation for legislation this time.

Some people even broke the news that what happened this time was actually because Siemens and Fanuc monopolized the machine tool CNC system, and then jointly raised prices at will, like vampires.

Various reports immediately brought about a huge public opinion offensive.

"Chen Sang, do you know why China mentioned the Anti-Monopoly Law at this time?"

"Is it really related to the price increase of our CNC system?"

Yoshida Nagamasa, head of the sales department of FANUC China Branch, felt a bit complicated at this time.

The news from China has reached the Japanese headquarters.

Since the Japanese auto parts giant suffered heavy losses this year due to the antitrust investigation in the United States, the impact of the matter has been huge.

Therefore, many companies in Japan are very sensitive to antitrust investigations.

Even if China is only discussing legislation now, it will still be a long time before law enforcement.

But based on the information on the Internet, FANUC is also very worried.

They do not want to become a catalyst for China's anti-monopoly law legislation.

This will offend many giants.

"I asked some familiar purchasers, but they didn't know the exact information."

"But what happened this time is that many domestic machine tool companies are behind it. This is basically certain."

"The most important reason why these machine tool companies are so active is that we and Siemens jointly increased the price of CNC systems."

"This time the increase is a bit exaggerated, causing a relatively large rebound."

Chen Liang also felt that disaster was coming from the sky.

Originally, as a salesperson for FANUC, my life was very comfortable.

As a company that occupies more than half of the market share, Fanuc does not have to worry about not having orders.

More often, Chen Liang only needs to do some daily maintenance for customers and make quotations for new orders.

When has he ever experienced a scene like today?

"When Aida told us that the Chinese were bullying and afraid of the strong, and we insisted on raising prices, they could only hold their noses and admit it."

"Siemens will take action on something that can significantly increase our operating profits. Naturally, we have no reason to object."

"But if antitrust laws are introduced now because of this matter, the gains will outweigh the losses."

"At that time, other domestic machine tool companies will probably have very strong opinions on us."

Yoshida Nagamasa felt a little regretful when he thought about the public opinion in the past few days and some accusations from the headquarters.

Isn’t it okay to make money in a good way?

I have to listen to Aida's advice and raise the price.

it's good now.

Something happened.

"Minister, you said that if we adjust the price back, can this matter be settled?"

Chen Liang felt that it was better to do less than to do more.

If the current situation continues to ferment, he will definitely not be able to withstand it.

When the time comes, they may become targets of sacrifice.

The salary at FANUC is still very good, and he doesn't want to lose this job.

"Public opinion has risen. Even if we reduce prices, we cannot treat it as if nothing happened."

"We have decided to take this evil person for granted."

"It's a good thing that China's anti-monopoly law was not promulgated so quickly. If it were actually promulgated in the past two years, we would be able to criticize it."

Thinking of this, Yoshida Nagamasa wanted to increase the price of Aida's CNC system first.

It was all because of the other party that he fell into passivity.

"minister……"

Chen Liang wanted to say something else, but the phone rang suddenly.

Under normal circumstances, you must press the phone first and get back to it later.

However, Chen Liang saw that the call was from the sales manager of Siemens and realized that the situation might be different.

"Siemens sales manager, may I answer the call first?"

"You answer first and see what the other party says."

Naturally, Yoshida Nagamasa wouldn't mind his subordinates answering the phone first at this time.

"Mr. Chen, today there is a CNC system exhibition in Nanshan, and a bunch of machine tool manufacturers have been invited to participate. Do you know about this?"

As soon as the call was connected, the other party told Chen Liang something very surprising.

"Manager Xiao, is this news accurate?"

"I didn't hear anything about this."

“Wasn’t the previous CNC system for Nanshan’s press provided by Siemens?”

Chen Liang's words left Xiao Qin speechless on the other end of the phone. "I always thought they were from FANUC. Don't most of the machine tool CNC systems in China use our FANUC products?"

Chen Liang: ...

"So, neither of us knew that Nanshan could produce CNC systems by itself."

"When they do this, we become more passive."

"Now we have to see how accurate this news is."

Xiao Qin obviously feels that Siemens and Fanuc need to work together to find a way to deal with this matter.

Otherwise, the situation will be even more embarrassing then.

Stealing chickens will not lose rice.

This is the situation that the two of them may have to face.

"How can a Chinese private enterprise like Nanshan be able to produce something as complex as a CNC system?"

"I think there is a high probability that they are bluffing in this regard and want to force us to lower the price back, or even lower it than before."

When Chen Liang said this, he actually had no confidence in his heart.

But his mouth is very tough.

"Let's do this. Both of us will use our respective relationships to find out more."

"Then we share our inquiries every day."
